a neat windows xp hack...

hi guys...

i was lumbering around my hardrive getting rid of old files and i found a interesting folder at C:\Documents and Settings\(replace with user\SendTo
when you right click on a file you get the option to "send to" this is the folder where those choices are kept. so for fun i copyed a short cut to my "web favs." and right clicked on a file on my desktop... lo and behold i had the option to send that file to "web favs." i clicked it and it worked! just thought you guys might find this usefull... enjoy!

Not sure if I would really use this but very neat all the same. Thanks for the heads up!

It actually works in all versions of Windows from Win95 onward. Pretty much the first thing I do when I get a new machine is to drop a shortcut to Notepad into Sendto folder.

I have used this for a while to send things to a 'backup' folder on a different hard drive
